THE DANCE
Given in the evening WAS enjoyed by
crowded house The music was hrst-
clsss-the best we have ever heard III
these parts. All appeared /" dance with
seeming vengeance, until Nights can
lies were burnt out, aud J0cnnd day
stood tiptoe Oh the misty mountain top.
The affair was ably managed by N. Z.
Davis, William G.. Ruddell and George
l. velock. The bali supper, given by
Mr.. aud Mrs. Feliz, was repiete with not
only the substantials, but all ut the dell
cacIes. of the season. Mrs. o. excited
considerable comment ny the rapidlty
and ease with which she slowed away
slabs of cold ham. Rehecca made it hoi
tor the COLI ham. Miss u. went home
before the entertainment vas bali over;
she never could indulge in mixed pickles
to excess. They contain copper, and ale
unhealthy at this season 0t the sear.
Mr.. p. lined himself with canned terma-
esseS, pie with sauce Italieune, clans,
| Leer. palenx assortls aud other brlea-
kbrac. Mr.. u. bites off good deal, but
never more than he can chew. His pc,
ers of digestion are calculated to excite
the envy OF an ostrich. Mr.. Il got away
With two plates of chicken soup. ana
grseefuIIy threw himself outside of thr
| or four pounds of boiled red snapper a Ia
| Hnl.andaise, which be moistened copi-
| ously with put of Haut Sauterpes.
| Mr.. K. is a good feeder. He did good
| work smoug the vegetables. His favor
i tie egumes are pommes de terre and
/ billed cabbage. Will knows what is good
/ when be smells it, and then he makes
/ wholesale Investments. Miss Q, create d
| much devastation among the asperges su
i beurre and pickles, having previously
| hidden away under her corsage five
petits pates la Parisienne. She got
stalled on her third plate of sauer krau'.
Miss o. didn't do justice to herself on
this occasion. She was not well. She
subsequently, rallied and toyed with the
Charlotte Russo, but it was evident she
had lost her g5ip. Some captious critic
may contend that this style Of reporting

They are right. This is the direction in
which the daily press is inclined to lean,
and in reporting what persons eat at
ball supper, We claim scoop, on the
society editor of the SILVER STATE. We
strive to excel. Before sunrise the next
morning, quite collection Of young men
were competing for distinction ia jump
ing. Prof. Charlie Macksy, of Spring
valley, took the bakery and leather
medal; his portrait has been forwarded
lsl the Police Gazette. The day OF the
fifth was spent in various ways. ln tn
evening, highly successful bon
party was given in the spacious la !.
Notwithstanding the tact that the entire
hisht previous had been spent IN the
tTrrps chorean art, Byron's old sonnet
"No sleep Til morn, When youth and pl. assure
meet ,
To chlse the gio~las hours With flying teet,"
Was verified, .NDt one event happeaed
to mar the pleasure Of the party, aud
lioug will We, the participants, reusniber
July 4th aud 5h in LGseloek. and the
festivities engaged in. Taking sll in all.
We are compelled to adopt the remark ;
Of a sage OF that village, in expressing
| the good time had there on Monday.
| Tuesday and Wednesday Of this week =
| "Lovelock against the world. !"
